Relates to the criminal enforcement of violations of the state's uniform fire prevention and building code

This bill expands criminal penalties for individuals and businesses that fail to fix fire or building code violations after receiving an official order. It directly affects property owners, tenants, contractors, architects, and other parties involved in construction or building maintenance by adding them to the list of people who can be prosecuted. Under the new rules, those who knowingly violate safety standards face misdemeanor charges with fines that increase over time, while those who simply ignore correction orders face a violation charge with lower fines and shorter jail terms. The law applies to anyone serving as an agent, tenant, or otherwise responsible for a building, ensuring that a wider range of parties can be held legally accountable for unsafe conditions.
